Selling a property can be daunting, but with River City Conveyancing, you’re never in the dark. We ensure regular updates and clear communication at every stage of the sale. Our conveyancing team keeps you informed and responds quickly to your questions, giving you peace of mind throughout the process.
Understanding your rights and responsibilities as a seller is crucial. We simplify the legal jargon and explain the terms of the contract of sale in plain language, ensuring you fully understand your position. This clarity helps prevent misunderstandings and avoids potential legal issues.
A title search is an essential part of the conveyancing process. Our team conducts a comprehensive title search to identify any third-party interests, encumbrances, or restrictions on your property that could affect the sale. If any issues arise, we’ll provide expert advice and help you address them, reducing the risk of complications.
We keep track of all pre-conditions that must be satisfied before the contract becomes legally binding. For instance, if the buyer’s contract is contingent on a building and pest inspection or finance approval, we ensure that the buyer meets these conditions. If they fail to comply, we will assist in managing the situation, protecting your interests.
Before settlement, we carefully review the transfer documents prepared by the buyer’s solicitor. We ensure these documents are accurate, and we assist you in correctly signing them before settlement. This helps prevent errors that could delay the transfer of ownership.
One of the most crucial stages of selling a property is settlement. Our conveyancing team coordinates every aspect of the settlement process. We work closely with the buyer’s solicitor, your mortgage lender, and other parties to ensure that the settlement occurs on time. We ensure that your mortgage is discharged, the transfer of ownership is completed, and all funds are correctly distributed.

Conveyancing FAQs
How long does conveyancing take when selling a property in Queensland?
The conveyancing process when selling a property in Queensland typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the contract terms, buyer finance approval, and any special conditions. If the contract is straightforward and there are no delays with the buyer’s bank or searches, settlement can sometimes occur sooner. Your conveyancer helps manage key dates, ensure compliance with Queensland property law, and work toward a smooth settlement.
What does a conveyancer do for a seller?
A conveyancer manages the legal and administrative process of transferring property ownership from seller to buyer. For sellers in Queensland, this includes preparing the contract of sale, reviewing legal documents, handling adjustments (such as council rates and water charges), liaising with the buyer’s solicitor, and coordinating settlement. A conveyancer ensures all legal obligations are met and helps reduce the risk of delays or disputes.
Do I need a conveyancer before signing a contract in Queensland?
It is highly recommended to engage a conveyancer before signing a contract of sale. In Queensland, contracts can become legally binding quickly, so having a professional review the terms in advance can help protect your interests. A conveyancer can identify risky clauses, explain conditions, and ensure you fully understand your obligations before committing to the sale.
What’s included in a $880 conveyancing fee for selling a property?
A fixed fee conveyancing package of $880 for selling a property in Queensland typically includes the legal work required to complete the transaction. This generally covers contract review, preparation of legal documents, communication with the buyer’s representative, settlement coordination, and basic administrative tasks. Disbursements such as government fees, title searches, or bank charges may be additional depending on the transaction.
How can I save money on conveyancing in Brisbane?
You can save money on conveyancing in Brisbane by choosing a fixed-fee conveyancer, comparing quotes, and ensuring your contract is properly prepared to avoid costly delays or disputes. Avoiding unnecessary add-ons, using digital conveyancing services, and providing documents promptly can also help reduce costs. While price is important, choosing an experienced conveyancer can prevent expensive legal issues later in the transaction.
What happens if the buyer terminates the contract in Queensland?
If a buyer terminates a contract in Queensland, the outcome depends on the contract conditions. If the termination occurs under a valid condition (such as finance or building inspection clauses), the buyer is usually entitled to a refund of their deposit. If the buyer breaches the contract without a valid reason, the seller may be entitled to keep the deposit and potentially claim damages. A conveyancer can advise on your rights and next steps based on the specific contract terms.
Can conveyancing costs vary in Queensland?
Yes, conveyancing costs in Queensland can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction, the property type, and whether additional services or searches are required. Some conveyancers charge fixed fees, while others charge based on time or additional disbursements. Always check what is included in the quote to avoid unexpected costs.
What searches are included in conveyancing when selling a property?
When selling a property, conveyancing may include checking the property title, verifying council approvals, and ensuring there are no legal issues affecting the sale. While many searches are typically performed by the buyer, a seller’s conveyancer ensures all required documents are accurate and that the property is legally ready for transfer.
Do I need to attend settlement in person?
No, you do not need to attend settlement in person in Queensland. Most settlements are completed electronically through PEXA (Property Exchange Australia). Your conveyancer manages the entire process on your behalf, ensuring funds are transferred and ownership is legally updated.
What delays settlement in Queensland property sales?
Common causes of settlement delays include finance approval issues, incomplete paperwork, problems with title searches, or unmet contract conditions. Delays can also occur if either party’s conveyancer or bank is slow to respond. A good conveyancer helps minimise delays by managing deadlines and ensuring all requirements are met on time.
